Amen to that! They don't even need a computer these days... A (frank)ing keyboard will do the job.

The 9.4 offer sheet is coming. The ghosts of the Vanek/Penner offer sheets will haunt Lowe until 8 years and 75 million dollars have come and gone.




What team is dumb enough to offer sheet Edmonton with $16,828,000.00 in available cap space? Pretty sure the Vanek and Penner offer sheets were to teams that were vulnerable not quite the position Edmonton is or will ever be in. Cool story though.

yeah for next year...cap space is significantly lower the next season...and what does the team making the offer have to lose? Oilers match and they are in the exact spot they were before the offer

Pretty sure the cap is going to rise. It is already sky rocketing with what the CAD dollar has done in the last 2 months. The cap for next year should be re analyzed IMHO. The Oilers are in a good spot cap wise for the next year and the ones after that. An offer sheet is not going to happen is my point but were it to occur it would simply be matched. What’s a few million dollars of Katz money going to Draisaitl going to do to the core of the team? Nothing. Guys like Jokinen will be signed to take the place of guys like Maroon if they think they are $6,000,000.00 players. Their stats are inflated because of McDavid and Draisaitl.

I'm curious who four people the writer thinks Draisaitl will be better than?

"From these 10 players I will suggest that if Draisaitl turns out to full potential he will be a better hockey player than four players on the list"

He referenced

P.Kane
Toews
Kopitar
Ovi
Malkin
PK
Crosby
Perry
Stamkos
Lunquist

Offensively or well rounded? He could consistently score more than Kopitar, Toews and Perry and score as much as Kane on average, be better at defence than Alvie or Stamkos, probably never be as good a defence man as PK or as great or as good A goalie as Lundqvist. He will never be as good as Crosby and Malkin.

I see his top end possibly being Getzlaf or Tavares like.
